That was a very long time ago though. No one said it was OP back then when the changes were made.

25th of June 2013 as a matter of fact. Almost a year and a half ago.

Because back then everyone was pissed that no attacks connected because of the bubble and that you couldn’t CftP and high ranks played worse than rank 20s all of a sudden so basically everything was broken, OP and unfun.

Would solve much especially against Maul, cause he can’t perform the overhead in time, needs to use low damage stab so you get a chance to recover and should have enough stam for another feint.
Also you need to back off more and regen stam. In the clip you made him miss a couple times and he stopped sprinting to cftp, instead of backing off to regen stam you hit his parry and put yourself in range for a riposte. If you time it right you can pretty much turn around sprinting and dodge his attack 90% of the time when he’s running at you, in other words recover about a hit on your shield with every dodge you do.
Also the Maul is a bullshit ez mode weapon and every nub that uses it should kill himself.

as long as its short enough that the mauler cant just reverse oh/slash instead of just a lookdown to speed it up. might have to tone that time down quite a bit to do it but itd be good i think.

two things I noticed from your video and correct me if I am wrong but it looked like 3 different times you turned away either to run and gain distance or you tried to do a matrix. Either way both failed specially with the new chase code speeds. I think this may have more do do with your failing than the Maul being OP against a shield.

I really dont think one or two weapons being able to pounce a turtle is that big of a deal compared to the shield setups wrecking most everything else if played properly. I know Castamere is one of the best shield players and rarely has this problem.

lol maul destroys most weapons in duel due to stamina drain. It’s not only shields it happens with everything damn near. Hell i’ve been stammed out with many 2 handed knight weapons while watching the maul drag and miss 3-4 swings in a row. I cftp one time and get stunned for damn near 2 seconds… then reverse overhead one shot to the face because maul is most balanced weapon. It’'s balanced because it’s SOOOOOOO slow amirite gais?
